As always, the loner has it wrong.
Mario responds:
Oh, this is hilarious, coming from someone who has been repeatedly describing
the "imploding" Canadian health care system as a shining example of the
Canadian socialist utopia, while ignoring all the evidence that has been
presented here on Goanet:-))

Zimbabwe became an economic basket case only when it stoped collecting
taxes and started printing money instead. Since the African born, birth
certificate-less, US President is now following the same economic trickery
that Zimbabwe did, I expect the US to end up with a similar currency and
economy as Zimbabwe's.
Mario observes:
This is getting even more hilarious. Isn't saying that Zimbabwe stopped
collecting taxes a little like saying that Zimbabwe stopped plucking berries
from its barren bushes?
Roland, kitem, re? Is this what they are publishing about Zimbabwe in the
Canadian media? But I digress.
Mervyn's expert economic analysis says that Zimbabwe became a communist
hell-hole only because it did what Messiah Hussein is now doing in the USA,
printing money. Apparently, no clue about the difference between Zimbabwe
printing money and the US printing money. Good one, Mervyn. Shows you really
have a grip on what's going on in the world:-))
I wonder if Mervyn, as he usually does, is counting on Goanetters forgetting
everything else he has written previously on a subject.
For those with short memories, it is MERVYN who has been praising the current
US President and blessing his name as springing from the loins of Kenyan
warriors and of being a paragon of Mervyn's own socialist values that Mervyn
has been praying and making novenas will bring the US down to Canada's level.
Now Mervyn is questioning the authenticity of the Messiah's virgin birth and
accusing him of "trickery"? Whoa! What an amazing feat of mental gymnastics!
When Bill Clinton asserted two completely opposite things with a straight face
they described it as "compartmentalization":-))
As his friend Bosco was heard to erroneously remark recently, but would be
"sahi" in this case, "Kamaal hai!"
Unfortunately, for Mervyn, even a media-myth of a Messiah, currently with
plummeting approval ratings with Rasmussen reporting a 11% deficit between
disapproval and approval in the Daily Tracking Poll, cannot achieve what Mervyn
wants from him in the 36 months and six days he has left. It will take a lot
longer for anyone to equalize the US and Canada, believe me.
But, Saiba Boggus! It just occurred to me that Mervyn agrees with ME about
Obama's trickery. Oh, no! Not after the other purveyor of puerile
prevarications writing to Tio Alfred that he basically agrees with me as well.
With people like these to agree with me I don't need enemies!:-))
Mervyn writes:
Secondly, Mario resorts to the 'lone voices' position here, attacking even the
Popes, for only one reason. He needs attention! For that reason, Goanet is
flooded with four to five lengthy posts from him everyday.
Mario responds:
Mervyn, for amusement we read the Grooks and Cecil, but this one post of yours
may be almost as good:-))
Here we see Mervyn, who has previously tried to convince us to ignore all the
evidence and believe his bogus claims about how well the Canadian health care
system functions, now pretending to be a psychologist and explaining why I post
the maximum allowed by Goanet Rules of four posts a day. I guess to really
understand why he would have to actually read the posts, which he has admitted
he does not do:-))
This is the same guy who was found several months ago BEGGING Goanetters to
shun my posts on Goanet:-)) I didn't know whether to laugh or cry:-))
Mervyn wrote:
I have a proposal to give Mario all the attention he craves. Lets vote him in
as a moderator of Goanet. This is not a joke.
Mario responds:
Mervyn, you seem confused. Who pays attention to the moderators? No one even
knows they're there when they are doing a good job, which is as it should be.
Most Goanetters don't even know for sure who the shadowy moderators are!
The comic stuff is what you have written in this post so far, not this even
more confused "brainwave". Perhaps you are also confusing Goanet with some
other forum. Goanet is not a democracy where you can just demand a vote for me
to do something you want. Didn't you learn a lesson when you tried to get
members to shun my posts and were laughed at and excused for a few months for
your trouble? I guess not:-))
Besides, as you have unintentionally proven in this post alone, which has
nothing relevent to add to any current discussion I am involved in, I get more
than my share of attention on Goanet if that is what I wanted:-))
Mervyn wrote:
Think about it for a second. Mario already dominates and controls the tone of
what gets posted here. He knows what is good for Goanet. By making Mario an
official moderator, we will only be officially recognizing him as one?of the
powerful elites of Goanet.
Mario responds:
Mervyn, you really need to think about what you write for more than a second.
If you did you would realize you are giving me too much credit and are
contradicting your cronies who insinuate that all I do is cut and paste the
views of others and never write anything original.
Your admission that I dominate and control Goanet and that I know what's good
for the forum is only partially true but will make your compadres mad at you
for admitting this in public. Either they are correct, or you are. You both
can't be right:-))
Besides, what will the real brains on Goanet think, like Samir and Sandeep and
Santosh and Rajan and Joe and Marshall and Gilbert and Floriano and Valmiki and
George and Selma and Ana Maria and Carmen and V.M. and Cecil and Francis and
Fred and Bosco and Arwin and Blasio, let's not forget the intrepid modern
Crusader, Fr. Ivo, and others far too numerous to mention, who all provide far
more insights and information about Goa, certainly much more light and often
heat, than I do:-))
However, all you have to do to absorb my little bit of common sense of the
world outside Goa is to diligently read what I write and ask questions about
what you don't comprehend. Don't worry. I'll patiently try to explain
whatever you don't get. Free market economics is not easy to grasp initially.
The siren song of socialism sounds much more plausible until you look at the
evidence.
Whether I succeed or not I cannot guarantee. Because of some of what you have
written it doesn't look promising, but what's the harm in trying, you have
nothing to lose and everything to gain:-))
And unlike the Canadian health care system, my invaluable lectures are really
FREE - even though Gilbert thinks I write them to benefit myself [:-))] - and
unlike the Canadian health care system, I cannot do irreparable damage to your
health by placing you on a waiting list just when you need help the most:-))

Given his self admitted weight problems?
Mario responds:
This sounds like something your crony Marlon would write, without a care in the
world about the truth. Besides, from some of the pictures I have seen around
the net, I wouldn't get into personal physical characteristics if I were you:-))
Mervyn wrote:
A couple came upon a wishing well. The husband leaned over, made a wish
and threw in a penny. The wife decided to make a wish, too. But she leaned
over too much, fell into the well, and drowned. The husband was stunned for a
while but then?said, "It really works!"
Mario responds:
Oooh! Look what we have here! Do I detect a Freudian window into Mervyn's
soul? Only Mervyn's closest cronies would know.
For newer Goanetters, Mervyn actually tried this once on Goanet when he wished
I would go away and that Goanetters would shun me. He also piously vowed
NEVER, EVER, to respond to anything I wrote as long as he lived. What happened
was that it was Mervyn who went away, sulked for awhile, peace descended on
Goanet, serious issues could be discussed, then he suddenly realized his
tantrum hadn't worked, and slunk back in. Did anyone miss him while he was
gone?
Make up your own minds:-))
